"Cundall also has government permission to excavate Spitfires at two other sites, at Meiktila in central Burma and at Myitkyina in Kachin State.
He believes that that there are six crated Mark 8
Spitfires at Meiktila. These are the rarest Spitfires in the world, with only one flying example remaining."
He thinks the buried planes will be in good condition. “They are all brand new, all the boxes are tarred. They are on massive teak timbers to assist the drainage, there is a wooden roof over them to protect them,” he said.
